What a wonderful reminder! And one that is so very true. I always try to tell people this (strangers included) if I find myself thinking it. I know how it makes me smile when I hear such words myself. And the same goes for complimenting some part of an outfit that I've admired, a haircut, etc.

I established this blog in 2006 so that I could record my inspirations, my thoughts and my work as an Interior Designer. Based in Brisbane, Australia, my store Black & Spiro is always filled with a unique collection of interesting things which we scour the globe to find. I am most passionate about my family, my career, tradition, collecting, flowers, fabric, gardening, colour and quality and I will always strive to be creative and extraordinary in everything I do. I hope I can inspire you to live a bright and colourful life surrounded by the things you love.
